SYRACUSE -- For at least the second year in a row, the Town of Cicero's Community Festival Parade had a local broadcaster leading the way. NewsChannel 9 (WSYR-TV) Chief Meteorologist Dave Longley, a resident of the town, served as the Grand Marshal for this year's parade.
SYRACUSE -- Exactly 21 years ago today, Genesis rocked the Carrier Dome during the group's "We Can't Dance" World Tour. It goes without saying that the concert received plenty of attention from the local media, and at least one local broadcaster has held onto some souvenirs from that night in 1992.
SYRACUSE -- Even though our latest Picture of the Week was taken just a little under two years ago, it's already got some upstate New York broadcast history in there. It's a shot of the regional master control facility inside of NewsChannel 9 (WSYR-TV). Take a close look at the photo, and see if you […]
SYRACUSE -- There's plenty of excitement these days about the Syracuse Crunch, the AHL affiliate of the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning.

UTICA-ROME -- Last month, Shaun Andrews marked his 15th anniversary at 97.9 and 105.5 Kiss-FM (WSKS/WSKU). Earlier this week, the former intern who worked his way up to program director was recognized with a cake and a personalized plaque.

But that happened last weekend, when this group gathered to sign copies of Syracuse Television, the book chronicling the […]
SYRACUSE -- Our latest Picture of the Week headline has nothing to do with the 2:02 commercial breaks Chuck Woolery used to introduce during TV's Love Connection back in the 80s. Rather, we've got two local morning radio co-hosts being photographed at two different recent events... and the photos came to us from two different contributors.
UTICA-ROME -- A belated "hoppy birthday" to Big Frog 104 (WFRG) morning co-host Polly Wogg! Last week, she turned 40. Earlier this month, she asked Keith Urban if he'd sing her a birthday song. Although she didn't get exactly what she asked for, Polly Wogg was still very excited about the special gift she receive […]
